After their 2022 Inaugural year in Porsche Sprint Challenge; Tatum Racing based at Utah Motorsports Campus is excited to be campaigning another two car team in the Porsche Sprint Challenge North American Series and the Porsche Sprint Challenge West Series for 2023.
2022 brought lots of excitement, dedication and hard work as Tatum Racing campaigned two 991.2 Porsche Cup Cars in the Porsche Sprint Challenge West Series, with limited time to prepare for the season. The team came together to prepare for the season with phenomenal attitude to get the job done. With John McInnes in the # 56 and Chris Haunold in the #00 both had fantastic results throughout the entire season.
2023 will again find John McInnes returning in his 991.2 Cup Car #156; to both the Porsche Sprint Challenge North American and Porsche Sprint Challenge West Series. With 2 overall wins at his home track at Utah Motorsports Campus and two more class wins at the historical Indianapolis Motor Speedway, John is excited as ever to see what 2023 will hold.
